Designing Long Web Forms

Usability News - Caroline’s Corner - Long Forms: Scroll or Tab?

  • basic rule of thumb: one form = one page
  • if that’s not feasible: one topic = one page
  • scrolling is permissible – ideally, keep it within two screens (this will also fit nicely on letter-size paper if the user wants to print the form)
  • it’s better to put form fields in a single column than in two
